Re: Shopping at an off day at legoland California

You could always call and ask about the parking. I'm pretty sure they were operating the store at a loss just because of the ac being on and the doors wide open. I'm guessing it's almost like a perk for the hotel guests because there's only sea life aquarium open and that does not take an entire day...

Shopping at an off day at legoland California

In October legoland is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the sea life aquarium is open. While I wad in the gift shop I was told I could look for something in the big shop until 3pm. Apparently you can just walk in the front gates and walk on a blocked off path right to the store, which you may ha...

Re: LEGO Nexo Knights Official Press Release (2016 Theme)

It's interesting how the orange guy has the larger upper torso, which seems to be attached to a regular torso - but where are the regular arms? I think I would like to see more of this type of modularity in augmenting standard minifigure pieces rather than specialty-molded bigfigs. There was an ali...

Re: 2015 LEGO Christmas Ornaments

I'm not a big DIYer, and I usually prefer to pay more for something with a Lego logo on it. But after considering the price for all 4 (around $30) I went on Amazon and found similar 2 inch diameter plastic bulbs for $10 for 12, over 50 reviews averaging 5 stars, and free shipping if order is $35 or...

Re: LEGO Class Party

Does everyone have to take it home? Is this to fulfill some educational purpose or is it just for fun? If it doesn't have to go home you could just bring in bricks and let them collaborate on making something, sort of like the serious play concept. Or if you're doing something for fun maybe make and...

Re: 2015 LEGO Christmas Ornaments

I really like the snow hut. I have my fingers crossed that legoland has them during their 20% off coupon time.

Re: LEGO Store Calendar, October 2015 (US, CA)

Thank you! Sounds like Oct 31 is the perfect day to go, if you're in costume you can get the poster and do the hunt for the stickers if they're not all gone by then :)

Re: 40139 LEGO Gingerbread House Set - Exclusive 2015 Winter

Unfortunately it is a paper coupon, i was sent it in the newsletter that comes roughly quarterly, and it's for legoland California. If you get a newsletter for Florida, I'd check it or if you didn't receive it call the park to get a copy, I'm not sure if they send the same one to members of every pa...

Re: LEGO Shop at Home - Free Shipping

No, they are not the same, I have tried to use the same card again and it is not accepted either. Would be nice, but if you're friendly to the clerks at the store they'll usually give you one if you ask. Thanks for confirming that. I was offered one the first time because I was trying to get all 4 ...

Re: LEGO Shop at Home - Free Shipping

I've also been given a card when they were out of stock of what I wanted. Of course I used it and tossed it and then was given a new one. ..i should have saved it to see if the code is the same, since it says is only good through Dec 2014 but still worked.

Re: Black Mold inside Sealed Older sets

Yeah, unless you have a finished/climate-controlled basement, it's not the best place to store that type of stuff. Even without rain, basements are just prone to humidity because hotter/less dense air rises and cooler/more dense air settles. The more dense the air, the closer it gets to dew point a...

Re: Bricks N Pieces alternative to Pick A Brick online order

Thanks, at one time i wanted to order those connector plates to snap together to make a heart but chickened out when shipping was a mystery amount. $2.95 is very reasonable. And they ship pretty fast, too. Thanks, loading my cart with weird stuff like those plates, Dumbledore 's beard, a witch hat....

Re: Bricks N Pieces alternative to Pick A Brick online order

Be careful. Its easy to spend way too much with Bricks and Pieces. Both of my last 2x orders were over $100 before tax and shipping. Shipping for my order (way over $100) was $2.95 to the US. The site states that Bricks and Pieces orders do NOT contribute to VIP points (but one can spend VIP points...

It didn't look like it got wet in the pics. Maybe it just dried well or something. Sorry it was gross but at least you can clean the lego and pitch the box. Don't want to risk the mold spreading top other stuff in your house Lol no need to apologize. Good thing is it's dry and it was like dust/powd...

What's the scooby doo mystery event? Does anyone have a copy of the back of this calendar? Thanks! I'll add a photo, it's a scavenger hunt and the prize is Scooby Doo Stickers. If you go on Halloween, you can also get a Scooby Poster for dressing up in costume. :mrgreen: Thanks! We are dressing up ...
